Notes: This special topic course was a last minute substitution for a regular upper division course that was cancelled when the adjunct instructor withdrew. Denise and I rapidly put together a series of presentations from areas of our expertise to act as a substitute for a soils lab. While we did not cover classic lab analysis of soil, we did put together a solid review of key aspects of soil ecology that are important for plant/soil interactions. On my part, this required a deep dive into current literature on N fixation and mycorrhizal associations, and lets just say that things have progressed a bit since my graduate school days in the 1980s! This was both interesting for me and exposed the students to current literature. The student literature review papers were well developed, with most students scoring at least 80% Unfortunately, there were two instances of plagiarism discovered, pointing out the need for additional training in how to write term papers. While I feel that the course was a success overall, we could have done better. As noted, this was a last minute affair. With more time to prepare we could have thrown more topics into the mix. Im concerned about students ability to write term papers, and beyond the obvious of stressing what is and is not plagiarism, I feel that collaborative projects where weaker students are paired with stronger would be a solution.
